Thanks - but - sorry still not clear to me: with us (outland) or later? if later, can she apply (inland) as soon as she lands as PR? declare as accompanying or UNaccompanying? if with us, must have $ in bank or not relevant? if so how much e.g. 20K, 100K? thks everyone p

thks so much Tamee; good luck with yours p

hi I'm a novice so i may not be able to answer this but i'll try; first pls clarify (forgive my ignorance) what's a visa-exempted passport and what's a PR-confirmation? if you mean an interview as part of the PR process beware that's not a confirmation they can re-open all immigration-related...

thanks both; tamee which of these are you suggesting i do? 1. try to sponsor wife's son as my dependent even though he'll arrive later? so i put him on same application as her, i apply to sponsor both, and on her principal-applicant's application she puts "accompanying"? or 2. i apply to...

hi, you're welcome and i agree, better for everyone if you move once and all together if you can; but as i said i'm not very knowledgeable about this process, so better check with experts on your situation; yes it sounds complicated but i'm sure someone who understands this immigration process...

how much money must i transfer to my Canadian bank to show I can support my wife? (i have no job offer in Canada) also: once she's in Canada as a PR she'll sponsor her son from a previous marriage (ex-husband already agreed); can she do so immediately or must she first settle, learn English...

i believe you need legal residence status wherever you apply from then you need to stay there until it's completed, if you try hopping around you can lose it all - some people were excluded permanently because they couldn't attend the interview which was at a previous country etc; if you're not...

i'm far from expert on this so look this up, but what i've heard is your daughter born outside canada is still canadian automatically so it wouldn't matter whether your wife's canadian or PR or has the CCC or not; if a more expert member wants to comment on this i'm sure they can clarify but...

i'm new too, best of luck; this link is where i started, scroll up to Parts A B and C; the good news is you have a legal right to sponsor her, applying from outside Canada's often faster, and you don't need to meet the income cut-off line although you do need to jump through a ton of other...

i'm far from expert but my research tells me he fits the Family Class only if he's your parents' relative - otherwise they can't, only you can sponsor him; you're exempt from LICO (low income cut off) so although the Canadian govt will look at your finances, that shouldn't be a problem; if...

hi RG, i'm no authority on this but here's what i've heard and read: sometimes new canadians have trouble because they have no insurance, suddenly an accident, lose their life's savings; this tells us 2 things - if it's true - 1. yes you can get in without having insurance, and 2. it's better...

Not sure I do, I was asking, but no worries I'll figure it out, Thanks again P

PMM and rgvinson, thanks so much. i've been desperate for these answers. to clarify: -i sponsor her (outland); so she has son examined and declares him non-accompanying -she becomes PR and we move to Canada while her ex-husband still has custody of her son -soon afterward, her ex-husband...

hi Dan, i'm far from expert but from my research here's my best guess - hope someone more experienced answers you more thoroughly later: -do tons of research first, especially on this forum; your plan to go to the USA to work to save up money could complicate your inland application because the...

First time on this blog, sorry this is long, thanks in advance to all kind souls willing to help. I’m a Canadian expat in China, missing Canada, finally unemployed, I have savings, I’m eligible to sponsor. I’ve known my Chinese girlfriend 2 years, lived together 4 months, and proposed...
